This terrorist incident created a watershed moment not only for New Zealand, but also generated expressions of sympathy around the world, spokesperson, Margaret Gardner said.
"The murder of 50 innocent victims while at their peaceful place of worship starkly highlights the subsequent call for unity, love and peace within all communities.
"The response by the prime minister of New Zealand and many members of the general community has been profoundly one of inclusion and tolerance within their country.
"The condolence book gives local residents of this community a chance to express some thoughts and feelings to the survivors and people of Christchurch."
The book has been placed at the Great Lakes Library, Forster and is available until April 10.
MidCoast Council mayor, Cr David West will sign as a gesture from the community.
It will then be forwarded to the Christchurch community from the MidCoast Council community.
Further information about this book can be obtained from Gaye Tindall or Margaret Gardner on 0419 682 526.
